Select one independent variable and one dependent variable or outcome that you would like to measure (e.g., academic success, life satisfaction, consumer behavior, crime, personality, etc).

For this assignment, social media is on trial. Its continued existence is to be determined based on your multidisciplinary argument. (Remember the difference between multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary.) Drawing from a minimum of five of the seven readings for this week, state a very clear, strong position. (For this assignment, you are either for or against it.) Then, drawing from the articles and book chapters in this module, clearly support your argument. Develop each of the points within your argument. You can use other academic literature and even examples from social media, but they must be used appropriately. For example, social media posts could be quoted to support a point. However, statements related to your argument must come from experts academic, governmental, or other respected and reliable sources. Your argument should be passionate and be 6-8 pages long (minimum of 1500 words), plus an additional page of citations for all works used to craft your paper.
